PANAMA CITY — Fire crews were called to douse an early morning fire Monday, which appeared to be caused by a patio grill, according to a news release from the Panama City Fire Department.

The Fire Department was called to a two-story, residential structure fire at 1209 B Capri Drive Monday at about 3:30 a.m. Several units including 13 firefighters, three engines, one tower truck, a battalion chief and the fire chief responded to the alarm.

The fire was brought under control at 4:01 a.m. Damage to the wood-frame structure was estimated by officials to be about 30 percent. Content damage was estimated at about 10 percent.

“The first arriving unit found heavy smoke throughout the structure and flames at the rear,” PCFD said in the release. “A 4-inch supply line was laid. Two attack lines were used to extinguish the fire. There were no injuries to civilians or firefighting personnel.”

The State Fire Marshal determined the cause to be accidental and from the barbeque grill on the back patio.
